The story behind an epic UNC touchdown photo

Posted Aug 24, 2016
UNC wide receiver Bug Howard scored late in the second quarter on a 49-yard pass from Marquise Williams. The score put the Heels up 38-10. North Carolina would go on to defeat the Blue Devils 66-31. The picture has slowly gained cult fandom. Because it wasn't taken by an official UNC photographer or a news organization it didn't get the publicity it deserved. (Carolina Blue)
